What are Relative Pronouns? Relative pronouns are special pronouns which can connect the antecedent and the attributive clause. Also they can be used as a part of the attributive clause. Here

are some important differences:

which/ that: referring to things, can be used as a subject or an object in the

attributive clause; when they are used as an object, they can be omitted: The plane is a machine that/which can fly. The school (that/which) he visited last week is to the south of the city. 1.

that/ who/whom: referring to a person, can be used as subject or object in the attributive clause; whom can be used as an object:

The girl (that/whom/who) we saw yesterday was Jim’s sister. The man that/who is talking to my father is my maths teacher.
